AMAZING STORIES: INNOVATION AND INVENTION

From the ingenuity of Aboriginal life on the land, to examples of resourceful ‘make do’ in hard times and the creative use of heritage places in the 21st century, the 2012 National Trust Heritage Festival celebrates Australia’s heritage - past, present and future.

We are inviting individuals and organisations across metropolitan and regional WA to join in the celebrations by hosting their own community event.

The theme of the 2012 National Trust Heritage Festival is AMAZING STORIES: INNOVATION AND INVENTION and will  be held between 18 April - 18 May 2012.  Register your event online NOW 

By organizing an event or activity and registering it with the National Trust (WA), we can assist you by promoting your organisation and event through the Heritage Festival Program. If you are already planning an event for around this time, you can also register this.

So start planning your activity or event now. It could be a talk or lecture, a tour or walk, an exhibition or open day, a concert or a play – or come up with your own way of celebrating the innovation and inventiveness of Australia’s built, cultural or natural heritage.
